Subject: 16 bits converted to 24 bits

Charlie,

That is the generally accepted thought, and one I believed for sometime too. However, I found that by increasing the word length from 16 to 24 bits seemed to relax the overall sound of the recording. The instruments seemed just a bit more organic. On paper, the math and science would disagree but extended listening sessions have swayed me to converting all my past 16 bit masters to 24 bit. Maybe it is an interaction between the D to A converter reading the word length as 24 bit rather than 16 bit, I’m not sure. However, to my ears it sounds a bit better.

Anyway, it certainly does not damage the sound and will be how all my 16 bit recordings are made available. I recorded them, I feel they sound better at 24 bits and that’s how I want others to receive them.

I hope you enjoy them and Tim, thanks for your work.

Ray

Subject: 24bit?

You don't gain anything by making a 16bit recording into a 24bit recording, other than making the files larger.
